The field

Each number is one boat: its asking price in thousands of pounds, at today's market level, set above the year it was built. Tap a number to see the boat behind it.

8 boats by year built · asking prices in £ thousands, in today's prices · listed since Jun 2021 · asking, not sold
8 boats is too few to draw a middle line. We draw one once 20 boats span six build years. 2 boats without a build year are not drawn.

By year built

Median from five boats; middle half from ten. Below that we print nothing rather than a guess. Linked years have their own page with that year's boats. The spread is drawn on the field's scale, in pounds.

Too few boats to fit a depreciation rate yet. We fit one once 20 boats span six build years.

What moves the price

Each factor compares boats of the same age, so a newer boat's premium isn't counted twice. Five boats or more on each side, or we say so.

Age

Other factors

Too few boats to compare factors yet: we need five on each side of a split.

About the Sea Ray 550 Sundancer

The boats behind this page were built between 2002 and 2008 and have been listed since Jun 2021, most often in the US market. 14% of the boats seen at least 14 days apart have cut their asking price.

How we measure: we read public listings from brokers and marketplaces, count a boat once when it appears on several sites, store its asking price each time it changes, and restate older asking prices at today's market level. We never republish a listing, a photograph or a seller. Every figure is recomputed nightly and dated; below five boats we publish nothing. The 10 boats here were listed in Europe and the US.
